My grandma is a part of the Threshold Singers and it’s such an amazing organization. I used to go with her and to retirement homes and I loved how the whole atmosphere would change to a calmness that everyone in the building felt.
I had the privilege of witnessing the whole Threshold Choir at Insight Meditation Center in Redwood City on November 12, 2023. It was a sublime experience. I live far away, but if I could choose to have something like that when I am close to my transition, I definitely would. Thank you for doing this important work!
I'm the choir director for the Song of the Mountain Threshold Choir. Crying is ok. It models for patients and families that tears are ok. We will continue to sing when one of s starts to cry then join back in when she can. It is also a part of the gift. We give people a part of us and we get the gift of being in the moment and being able to share.
It isn't always easy but your tears will always enable others to cry and share their grief...and it is very often solace to those who are transitioning that someone (anyone) cares.

What a profound and beautiful act of kindness.
"An act of love and support which I need most in my life right now." How beautiful. We humans can be so loving.

"And how can I keep from singing?" Peace and blessings on this work.
"We are all just walking each other home" 🙏 ❤
I would like that when my time comes.
Me too! ❤
This was so incredibly BEAUTIFUL.....it takes me to a place of peace .
Music is so human, this should be introduced in the bleak hospital in my opinion, I mean our current medical system is really medieval!
What absolutely beautiful people you are, how comforting it must be for people who are suffering and scared. You are inspirational, awesome!
This is so beautiful and kind.
What an incredibly beautiful way to touch another soul...

I love this concept. More recent songs would make it even better+
I do exactly the same when I feel nervous, upset or fearful......it actually works! 💗🌵🌵🌌
How are they not crying? I'd love to do this but would probably cry my eyes out every time I sing

How can you control emotion, so you can continue?
